Google just gave you one excellent reason for making more use of their Google Drive (Formerly Known As Google Docs). In fact, this might me a killer feature.
When you open Google Drive, and click “Create”, there is a new option “Add new apps”. A popup appears where you can choose a myriad of apps.
A few particular apps caught my attention, as I have been using them in my role as application designer or information analist.
- Balsamiq Mockups is a great tool for creating fancy mockups and sketches of user interfaces. It’s a commercial application, but now you it’s available for you always and everywhere at no cost!
- Cacoo Diagramming. A nifty tool for creating all sorts of flowcharts and diagrams, including UML symbols. Can’t live without a tool like that and useful when I do not have Visio at hand.
- Gantter; no project manager can do without a decent Gantt charting tool.
- Sliderocket. Reminds me vaguely of….. Powerpoint. Yes, would be nice to have another template library for your presentations once in a while, right?
Anyway, do yourself a pleasure and browse through the dozens of apps and tools, from music streaming, to image enhancing tools, UML editors and more.
Did you find any great apps which are worth more than a mention here? Please let me know!
